Thanks to you both. And the other breaking story tonight. That little circle on the screen behind me, the eye of tropical storm iselle tonight. And hurricane Julio coming up right behind. This one-two punch coming. And tonight, the people living there hunkered down, and the trees, power lines down. The pumps wrapped in plastic. This evening, will all the water trigger landslides? Ginger zee is here, but first, Clayton Sandell on the big island for us. Reporter: Here on the big island of Hawaii, utility crews are out working to clear trees that the storm slashed to the ground. And completely blocked highways. Power outages put nearly 25,000 in the dark. It was scary. It was scary. You don't really experience winds like that in Hawaii.

It stopped right there at the volcanos and fell apart. On the satellite, it looks like it was blown away. Completely disintegrates. And Julio, still very strong. But that path stays north. I don't think the islands will see a lot of impact from either any longer. And the other concern you're tracking this weekend? Rain, and flash flooding in parts of the southeast. South Carolina, North Carolina, even parts of Virginia, going through the next two to three days, locally almost four inches.
